Pfaffenthal in the context of "Luxembourgish language"

Kirchberg (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪʁçbɛʁk] ; Luxembourgish: Kierchbierg, pronounced [kiːɐ̯ɕˈbiːɐ̯ɕ] ; lit. 'church hill') is a district in north-eastern Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg. It consists of a plateau overlooking the north-east of the historical city center, Ville Haute, connected to the rest of the elevated city by the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, which spans the Pfaffenthal valley. It is often referred to, in reference to the geographical feature it inhabits, as the Kirchberg plateau by Luxembourgish residents. Kirchberg is the predominant location of the European Union institutions and bodies based within Luxembourg, and is sometimes used as a metonym for the EU's judiciary, which occupies the district. It is thus the central business district of Luxembourg.

Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg railway station (Luxembourgish: Gare Pafendall-Kierchbierg; French: Gare de Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg; German: Bahnhof Pfaffenthal-Kirchberg) is a rail station on CFL Line 10, in the north of Luxembourg City which opened in December 2017. It is located above Rue Saint-Mathieu in the Pfaffenthal quarter, below the Grand Duchess Charlotte Bridge, overlooking the Alzette River. The Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL), the state-owned rail company, operates both the station and the associated funicular line, which links the station to the Kirchberg.
